Support apparatus for balancing the connecting gap between a LCD module and a computer mainframe

Abstract

A support apparatus for balancing the connecting gap between a LCD module and a computer is described. The support apparatus has a roller, a roller support, a spring and a holder. The roller is connected to a LCD module and the holder is fixed to the computer mainframe. The roller support and the spring are located between the roller and the holder.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A support apparatus installed in a connecting gap between a computer mainframe and a liquid crystal display (LCD) module, said LCD module being connected pivotally to said computer mainframe, said support apparatus comprising: 
       a roller connected to said LCD module;  
       a roller support connected to said roller;  
       an elastic means, one end of said elastic means secured to said roller support; and  
       a holder connected to another end of said elastic means and fixed on said computer mainframe, said roller being supported by said holder.  
     
     
       2. The support apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said roller has a trench therearound. 
     
     
       3. The support apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said holder is a semi sphere with a smooth surface and said semi sphere is employed to support said trench. 
     
     
       4. The support apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said elastic means comprises a spring. 
     
     
       5. A support apparatus installed in a connecting gap between a computer mainframe and a LCD module, said LCD module being connected pivotally to said computer mainframe, said support apparatus comprising: 
       a roller connected to said LCD module;  
       an elastic means connected to said roller; and  
       a support base, one end of said support base being connected to said elastic means, and another end of said support base being fixed to said computer mainframe, wherein said support base supports said roller by means of said elastic means's elastic forces.  
     
     
       6. The support apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said support base further comprises a roller support and a holder. 
     
     
       7. The support apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said roller support is fixed to said computer mainframe, said holder is supported by said elastic means, and said holder is connected to said roller. 
     
     
       8. The support apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said elastic means comprises a spring. 
     
     
       9. A support apparatus installed in a connecting gap between a computer mainframe and a LCD module, wherein said LCD module is connected pivotally to said computer mainframe, said support apparatus comprising: 
       a roller connected to said computer mainframe;  
       a roller support connected to said roller;  
       an elastic means, one end of said elastic means being secured to said roller support; and  
       a holder connected to the other end of said elastic means and fixed on said LCD module, said roller being supported by said holder.  
     
     
       10. The support apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said roller has a trench therearound. 
     
     
       11. The support apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said holder is a semi sphere with a smooth surface and said semi sphere is employed to support said trench. 
     
     
       12. The support apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said elastic means comprises a spring. 
     
     
       13. A support apparatus installed in a connecting gap between a computer mainframe and a LCD module, said LCD module being connected pivotally to said computer mainframe, said support apparatus comprising: 
       a roller connected to said computer mainframe;  
       an elastic means connected to said roller, and  
       a support base, one end of said support base being connected to said elastic means, and another end of said support base being fixed to said LCD module, wherein said support base supports said roller by means of said elastic means's elastic forces.  
     
     
       14. The support apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein said support base further comprises a roller support and a holder. 
     
     
       15. The support apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein said roller support is fixed to said LCD module, said holder is supported by said spring, and said holder is connected to said roller. 
     
     
       16. The support apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein said elastic means comprises a spring.
